SHAMEFUL ABUSE
Heaped upon Noted EngliShman for
His Open Honesty.
VIM. Ed. Robson, MIDI. r. C ST.

VIM. Ed. Robson, NJ. D., L. 4. c. S. l.,
NJ. X. Q. C. P. l., late of the Royal Navy
of England, has got into professional
trouble for writing the following open
letter to the editor of the London Family
Doctor.
Il believe it TO be the duty of every
physician to make known any means or
remedy whereby sickness can be prevented,
and 1t Is for this purposeI write to give
my experience both here and abroad. l
ask the publication of the statement
that people may be warned before it is
too late, to say to them that there is at
hand means by which they may be re-
stored to perfect health. 1t is well
known 30 the medical world, and indeed,
to the lalty, that certain disease is max
ing q terrible havoc; that next to consump-
ton 1t Is the most fatal, and that wher
fully developed there is nothing to be
done for the sufferer"
physicians and scientists have long
been trying to throw light upon the cause
and if possibly, find in nature medicine
for this fatal malady. They have shown,
absolutely, that the blood purifying or
gans of vital Importance, are the kidneys
and that when they once fail, the poison
which they should take out of the blood is
carried by the blood into every part of
the body, developing disease
In my hospital practice in England,
India and South America, and also while
a surgeon in the Royal Navy of Great
Britain, gave great deal of attention
to the study of diseases of the kidneys
and urinary organs, and found that not
only was the cure of chronic Bright's Dis
ease hopeless, but that kidney disease
was remarkably prevalent; much more so
>han generally known, and was the cause
of the maj ority of cases OF sickness, and
further, that the medical profession has
no remedy which exerts any absolute con-
troll over these organs in disease"
Some time ago when 1 had q case
which resisted all regular treatment
| which is very limited, plicGted with
| the passing of stones from the kidneys,
much against my will permitted my pa
tient to use Warmers safe cure, of which
l had heard marvellous results. In his
case the result was simply marvellous, as
| the attack was a severe one, and develop
ment very grave, for an analysis showed
| per cent. of albumen and granular tube
casts"
"The action of the medicine was siu-
| gular and incomprehensibIs to me. 1
had never seen anything like it. The
| patient recovered promptly, and IS 20
| day well and healthy man. This stimu-
lated my inquiry into the merits of the
remedy, and after analysis l found IL TO
| be of purely vegetable character, harm
less to take under all circumstances"
Casting aside all professional preiu-
dice. L gave it thorough trial, as
was anxious that my patients should be
restored to health, no matter by what
medicine. prescribed 1t in a great var
iety of cases, Acute, Chronic, Bright's
| Disease, Congestion of the Kidneys,
| Catarrh of the Bladder, and in every in
stance did 1t speedily effect cure"
| For this reason deem it my duty TO
! give to the world this statement regard
ing the value of Warmers safe cure. l
make this statement on facts am prepar-
ed to produce and substantiate. l appeal
to physicians of large practice who know
how common and deceptive diseases of
the kidneys are. to lay aside professional
! prejudice, give their patients Warmers
! safe cure, restore them to perfect health
earn their gratitude, and thus be true
! physicians"
81 am satisfied that more than one
half of the deaths which occur in Eng
land are caused, primarily, by impartial
| action CT the kidneys, and the consequent
retention in the blood of the poisonous
| uric and kidney acid. Warmers safe
cure causes the kidneys to expel this
| poison, checks the escape of albumen, re-
heves the inflammation and prevents ill
ness from impaired and impoverished
blood. Having had more than seventeen
! years experience in my profession, con-
scientiously and emphatically state that l
| have been able to give more relief and
effect more cures by the use of Warmers
safe cure than by all the other medicines
ascertainable to the profession, the ma
| jority of which l am sorry to say, are very
uncertain in their action"
| Isn't that a straight forward, manly
| letter."
! 'Tndeed it is"
! "Well, but do you know the author has
been dreadfully prosecuted for writing
| it?"
"How so? What has he done to merit
| ity"
-"Donef He has spoken the truth 'out of
school and his fellow physicians, who
want the public to think they have
monopoly in curing diseases, are terribly
angry with him for admitting profession
al inability to reach certain disorders.
"That letter created a wonderful sensa-
ton among the titled classes and the
public. This Jared the doctors terribly.
The College of Surgeons and Queens
College, from which institution he was
graduated, asked for an explanation of
his professional conduct and notified
him that unless he made a retraction they
would discipline him.
"The doctor replied that he allowed his
patients to make use of Warmers safe
cure only after all the regular methods
had failed and when he was satisfied that
there was no possible hope for them.
Upon their recovery, after having used
Warmers safe cure, he was so much sur
prised that he wrote the above letter to
| the Family Doctor. He regretted that
the faculties found fault with his action
in the matter, but he could not conscien-
tiously retrgct the facts as written to the
Family Doctor.
"The faculties of both colleges replied
that unless he retracted they should cut
him off, which would naturally debar him
from again 1oracticiHg his profession, and
also prevent his securing another appoint
ment in the Royal Navy"
The illustrious doctors dilemma is GER
tainly an unpleasant one, emphasizing, as
1t does, both his own honesty, and the con-
temptible prejudice and bigotry of Eng
lish medical men. The masses, however,
having no sympathy with their nonsense,
keep on using the remedy he SO highly
recommends and get well, while tho rich
and able depend upon the prsiudiced
doctors md dat
